CHICAGO, February 2S.-The climax
of excitement in the provision deal was ar-
parently reached to-day. The clique which
has been conducting the deal i'll mess pork
succeeded before the close of the afternoon
board in advancing the price of mess pork
for May delivery to $40 10 per barrel, at
which figures few ''short" operators set
tied. The market then broke off to SlSm
and closed there for the day. The starting
price for the May was SIC 65, or an adj
vance of 30 cents per barrel over the clos
ing figures OF Saturday. The market adj
vanCed quickly to SIT 10. declined To
ST. IN, advanced to ST. 10, receded TO
ST. I5, advanced irregularly to SIS IL, fell
Off to ST. 60 then advanced with sale sat
SIS 10, made another clear jump 10 SIS -,
and then went to SO OO, and again to
SO TO- When IN attempt was made 10
sell lot of pork at this figure the market
declined to SIS 90 without n sale, and de
clined to SIS 90, where it rested. There is
no doubt that May is COrnered, but to
what altitude the price will 80 is purely
c0nicctural. Several commission houses
refused to execute orders in pork to-day,
owing to the unsatisfactory condition otthe
market. Lard ruled ut l0al2c per 100
pounds higher, and Short Ribs were lOal5c
higher. \ number OF things transpired to
help the grain lists. When figures on
stocks began coming in, it was soon deter
mined that the decrease in wheat would he
Il big one. 1t proved to he 2!6, 600 bush
els. On this, and on fellow feeling with
prices going up all over the room, May
